Draft Profile: Yao Ming

Post by Matt »



Yao Ming

Strengths: Excellent scorer on the inside. Great with his back to the basket or can step out and hit the midrange. Money from the free throw line. Very strong. Good defender down low and will block shots.

Weaknesses: Might cough up the ball a bit to tiny, pesky guards bothering him in the paint. Very slow. While a decent rebounder, will probably need work there.

Scout's Take: Yao Ming is the greatest export of China. He has all the tools to be a prolific scoring big man that provides good stocks. He has a few aspects of his game that need work to reach full elite status, but there's no doubt in my mind that he will get there. Don't get cute with it, he's the #1 pick.

Ratings: Yao Ming C 7'6'' 310 22 B C D+ B C+ A

Stipulations: None
